Dog mom w/flexible schedule
Pet care experience
Maybe a bit more equipped than the average pet parent, my first job was helping care for hospitalized companion animals at a vet clinic at 14 years old. I’ve handled situations from normal med administration /cleanings/feeding to various emergencies for cats, dogs, wildlife and even farm animals. I was later a wildlife education specialist with a non profit and worked with and cared for exotic species (animal ambassadors) from all across the globe. I more recently worked at a popular chain pet store and have knowledge on nutrition, enrichment, supplements, training supplies, and more. I grew up with animals of all sorts and can’t wait to meet yours!
Reviews
Mikayla is our favorite and most reliable pet caregiver! Our two large labs and small beagle absolutely love her. They are very active dogs and Mikayla handles their needs perfectly and goes above and beyond to entertain them.
Mikayla went above and beyond for our new pup. We had to find someone last minute and she was extremely flexible to our needs. She was kind, knowledgeable, and our puppy loved her! I would definitely recommend her and can’t wait to have her back in the future!
About Mikayla M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My own dogs are never off leash (unless on grandmas farm on vacay) and wear harnesses and collars when out and about. - When visiting our home your pup won’t hear the door handle move until after their leash is secured to their collar or harness; EVERY TIME. - When I visit your home you can expect guidelines to be followed to a T. Unless your yard is fenced (or buried electric) I prefer to go on leashed walks to bond with your buddy. - Treats/food will always be cleared with pet parent before being given. Any other questions? Ask away!
Home
Information Mikayla M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pup has any issues with stairs; I live on the third floor but can make adjustments to make things accessibile. I have dogs and cats so it’s preferred that your baby knows that other animals exist before entering my home. If they don’t vibe I have no issue keeping them separate, but would at least like the chance to introduce new friends!
A typical day
While visiting, you can expect that your pup has plenty of playtime and as many cuddles as they want. I have more pet beds and toys around this place for the animals than I do for myself! I spend a lot of my day caring for my own pets and working around the house.

Availability
I have two pups and two cats myself; and know what it takes to keep a pet happy-and on a schedule. I will be starting a job with the Finger Lakes Institute at the end of May 2024 when my availability may change; but as of now my schedule is VERY open.
